Your Favourite Film...just to lighten the mood

To Sir with Love with Sidney Poitier . I love it , seen it loads of times and it has a very young Lulu in it singing the title song

Ghost. The scene with Whoopi Goldberg in the bank is so funny.

Driving Miss Daisy.

The Moneypit
Just so funny

Mrs. Miniver has been my favorite for over 30 years.

Ben Hur. I saw it first when I was about 14. A very impressionable age, and have seen it, and loved it more times than I can say

The Troops of St. Tropez, it's an old French comedy, I love it.

E.T .

TwiceAsNice - I had that on the planner for 2 years and finally watched it 2 weeks ago and agree it’s a very great film . I hadn’t watched it for very many years .

One flew over the cuckoos nest
Life is beautiful
The graduate

Brief Encounter.
Witness.
Went The Day Well.
Now Voyager.

Lots more.

The Jazz Singer
Grease
Dirty Dancing

If I could only have one I think it would be 'Conversations with my Gardener' with (my favourite) Daniel Auteuil and Jean-Pierre Darroussin. Almost anything with Daniel Auteuil in it suits me.

Other films I've loved: 'The Sting' - so beautifully designed and acted.
Pretty much anything by Taika Waititi, who began with an 11 minutes experimental film, 'Two Cars, One Night' which rocketed him to the top and won awards. It's on You Tube.

'Boy' written and directed by Taika Waititi.
'Hunt for the Wilderpeople' -written and directed by Taika Waititi
'Mahana' starring me ole mate Temuera Morrison and many more talented actors.

It's a toss up between Pulp Fiction and Fargo.

Funny and gruesome is my genre.

The Great Gatsby, a story of love and tragedy.
Some excellent writing and beautiful quotes.

“ He looked at her the way every woman wants to be looked at by a man”

“I love her and that’s the beginning and end of everything”

Just beautiful.

Oh yes, I love Now Voyager. I sent away for a DVD of it. Mainly for Paul Henreid.

Casablanca

Michael. John Travolta plays an angel. It's funny, touching and feel-good.

Some Like It Hot----"Nobody's perfect!"

NotAGran55 so glad put enjoyed it! I love it, I think I like it so much because I work with young people. Sidney Poitier was the Idris Elba of his day at a time when racism was rife.

Oh and August, Osage County. It's a play turned into a film and it shows, but the story is great and the acting is amazing.
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts among others.

A Man For All Seasons

The Search for Happiness (Will Smith) true story.

Greengage Summer with that gorgeous Kenneth More.

Bridges of Madison County.
Clint Eastwood and Diane Keatimg. I read the book twice before seeing the movie.
A middle aged couple who meet .......... I wept.

Out of Africa beautifully shot and acted. A reminder of a fabulous holiday.

Twelve Angry Men. I saw that when I was about 12 and was fascinated by it

The Angry Silence. Similar age when I saw that. I was shocked by how John Mills was treated.

Rabbit-Proof Fence

Also a fan of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

James Dean's 3 films. Rebel Without a Cause. East of Eden and Giant

So many to choose from!

Oh and I loved Convoy when I watched it as a teenager
